Beatrix Potter 'Dancing Peter Rabbit' Children's Dinner Set

This is a three-piece children's dinnerware set, likely made of ceramic or bone china, featuring illustrations from Beatrix Potter's 'Peter Rabbit' stories. The set includes a handled mug, a deep bowl, and a dinner plate. All pieces are primarily an off-white or cream color with colorful transfers. The mug, designed with two handles for easy grip by a child, displays a central vibrant scene of multiple rabbits in various dynamic poses, appearing to dance or play in a snowy landscape, with one rabbit dressed in a blue jacket. The top rim of the mug is adorned with a continuous border of smaller, reclining or sitting rabbits. The deep bowl and the dinner plate feature a consistent border design: a series of brown rabbits, possibly Peter Rabbit, positioned almost head-to-tail, encircling the rim against a faint light blue or green wavy line. The overall style is classic and whimsical, associated with the early 20th-century aesthetic of Beatrix Potter's work. The visible condition appears to be good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear on the surface or illustrations, suggesting careful use or good preservation. The items exhibit a smooth, glazed finish, indicative of standard dinnerware manufacturing quality. The set is designed specifically for children, balancing durability with appealing aesthetics.
